“So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.”

“Yet I have some restless searcher in me. Why is there not a discovery in life? Sometimes one can lay hands on and say ‘This is it’? My depression is a harassed feeling. I’m looking: but that’s not it – that’s not it. What is it? And shall I die before I find it?”

“They simply never understand,
do they,
that sometimes solitude is
one of the most beautiful things
on earth?” —Charles Bukowski (via domanassa)

“There is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock. people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love. people just are not good to each other
one on one. the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor. we are afraid. our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us
about the gutters
or the suicides. or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone untouched
unspoken to watering a plant.” —Charles Bukowski- “The Crunch,” Love is a dog from hell (via themilesiwandered)
